enjoy easter fiercely!

thanks internet archive (PD)

"This is a fierce bad Rabbit; look at his savage whiskers, and his claws and his turned-up tail."

I always had a soft spot for Beatrix Potter's thug bunny. If you recall that you did too, you may refresh your friendship with him here at Internet Archive. I think that Beatrix Potter knew she had a streak of Fierce Bad Rabbit herself, thinly veneered. It's right there in her style - creatures recorded down to the last realistic hair, dressed up for civilized life but ready to shuck it all off at any moment.

It wasn't until I became a teacher that I read Beatrix Potter's stories. I don't know why I never came across them as a child. I love them. I'll try to be as fierce as possible over the next few days. Thanks. You, also, enjoy this season of hope.
